"The way to save humanity and the Earth is by bringing the highest caliber of souls into the world.
Uplifting human consciousness one person at a time; our children are the hope.

Pregnancy, The Gift Of Giving Life A yogic view of pregnancy in 10 brief points:

1. You surrender your body to give life to your child.
   
2. A mother's prayer attracts the soul that enters her being.
   
3. The soul decides to incarnate through a certain woman.
   
4. The mother accepts the responsibility to bear the child.
   
5. Conception takes place.
   
6. The soul of the child comes into the fetus at 120 days after conception.
   
7. Mother and child have an interlocking relationship.
   
8. The frequency and strength of the mother's nervous system determines the health and vitality of the child.
   
9. The experiences of the woman become the foundation of the subconscious mind of the child.
   
10. Everything inside and outside of the mother affects the baby.

A note about meditation: When you meditate before the 120th day, you can attract a more developed soul.
After the 120th day, meditation affects the karmic state of the child.
Birth A bit about me: I have had the absolute privilege of being with one of my friends for two of her birthings.
The experience opened my eyes to just how much we don't tell each other about the birth experience.
How long have women been having babies and we don't tell each other the truth? It is hard.
It is smelly.
It is painful.
There is lots of blood.
It isn't a science.
It is wondrous.
It is miraculous.
It is one-pointed strength and concentration.
It is universal magnificence.
A new life, suddenly in the room.
Peace.
Love.
Hope.
Everythingness.
Light.
Beauty.
Awe for all that is.
Gratitude.
Life.
Yogic philosophy around birth: First and foremost you must trust in your own power and strength and get out of your own way to let the body do what it knows how to do.
Bring your meditative mind to the birth experience.
It will serve you well.
THE best KY technique to help during labor: At a time when you are going to need it the most, use long deep breathing in between contractions.
It will help you to get rid of any negative mental states and will uplift you.
Wrapping Up Pregnancy and birth are less about being wonder woman and more about the wonder of being woman.
Less about being "a good human being" and more about good human "being.
" Embrace pregnancy and birth as an expression of who you are.
This is what the world needs more of.
Work with the experience from intention, to conception, pregnancy, and birth to evolve along your own authentic life's path by.
Discover it, explore it, express it, live it, and share it! Honor yourself: care for yourself, body, mind and spirit.
Enjoy the journey and may you help make the world a better place by bringing a conscious soul of the highest caliber into the mix.
